Suggested correction: Clearly no sign of it.

Suggested correction: There is no view of the explosive.

Suggested correction: When the TV set explodes, it's a close-up of the screen and no device is seen. When it changes to a wider shot of the actual explosion, the glass breaks and some components of the TV set are shown. There is no way to distinguish between what is a component and what is, as you say, an explosive.

Suggested correction: Sue's mom just keeps repeating it's all right, you never hear any name mentioned.

That's because the music is supposed to drown out any dialogue.
